We just do not have enough road space to create cycle lanes that are rarely used and the money would be much better spent on road repairs.

Im a cyclist but I completely disagree with the installation of cycle lanes where it means the removal of trees or green areas in our city. Especially in areas where those trees have been a recognised and enjoyed part of the landscape for many years. Need another plan Newcastle council. Ridiculous plan!!!

They want to destroy our trees to be greener by having a cycle lane. Is it not better to keep a living tree the gives us oxygen just can’t see any logic in this what so ever

Why do councils like killing life and concreting the planet so much? And they claim Green credentials. What a joke.

Felling trees that have stood for years to make way for a cycle lane that probably won't be used makes no sense

Trees are so important to wildlife, we mustn't destroy them.

Please don’t cut down these trees, it doesn’t make sense, there are enough traffic calming measures already in place, and I like to live amongst greenery.

The trees form the fabric and character of Westerhope village, they should not consider felling these trees from behind closed doors!

Been there my whole life and have fond childhood memories of what westerhope looks like and this would drastically change it.

Sacrificing trees which have lined the roads through wedterhope and Denton to install cycle lane is environmentally criminal. What and how many will use a dedicated cycle lane- where is the research this is not progress. Save the trees.-

Very few cycles use the cycle lanes anyway so why build another!!

Because it is sheer vandalism to destroy such beautiful trees.

For me, it looks like the path could be widened a bit without cutting the trees down. A bit of polite use of the path would suffice.

There doesn't need any cycle lanes in westerhope village you hardly see people on bicycles and removing all of those beautiful trees which some are really old would be absolutely shocking the village just wouldn't look the same the council should be ashamed of themselves whoever had this idea, they need to think of the people who live there instead of having all these stupid ideas

Trees are impotant to area community and environment I’m sure the cyclists would prefer that the trees aren’t sacrificed I’m sure there must be a way to save these beautiful important trees
